The Biocraft XR is a remarkable combination of technology and fishing knowledge. Pick one up and you'll immediately understand the relationship. Lightweight, responsive, perfectly finished, the Biocraft XR is well above its price and a serious contender for some of America's very high-priced competitors. With 25 models in the range, there's something for everyone, from fine rods to powerful rods for fishing exotic fish. At the heart of each Biocraft XR is an astonishing combination of exclusive Shimano carbon technology, to achieve the perfect action for the rod's purpose. The high-modulus blanks are composed of HPC, biofibres, nanofibres and Diaflash in various blends. This combination translates into lightness and finesse where it's needed in stream and lightweight models, and unrivalled control power and casting performance in powerful models and two-handed rods. As you would expect from a top-of-the-range rod, the blanks are of the highest quality and have been selected for their performance characteristics. Seaguide and Fuji SIC guides guarantee lightness combined with strength, Seaguide reel seats blend perfectly with traditional cork handles and each rod comes with a velvet bag and hardcase carry tube.Of course, to fully appreciate the Biocraft XR, you'll need to get your hands on it and test it.
